4 NFL QB Battles That Will Be Won by Veterans

With mini-camps getting underway and the smell of football in the air, most teams are already certain of who will be under center once Week 1 rolls around.

With the exception of the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins, no team has a highly prolific rookie quarterback on its roster.

Some teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns are very young and shaky at the quarterback position, whereas others like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders are more experienced and just as shaky at the quarterback position.

Quarterback controversies bring out the politics in ownerships and the loyalty in fans. Not every team is lucky enough to have a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning.

There won't be any quarterback battles on the same level as a Doug Flutie/Rob Johnson or Joe Montana/Steve Young, but there will still be controversies nonetheless.

Here are four teams whose experienced quarterbacks have the advantage over the future quarterbacks of the league.

Tannehill has never taken a snap in the NFL and Garrard hasn't played professional football in more than a year after having back surgery last season.

This leaves Moore as the best option for the Dolphins.

Putting a rookie quarterback in too soon can be detrimental to any franchise. Just ask Jimmy Clausen.

It's not as if Moore is a bad quarterback. He proved last season that he can play in the NFL and with the addition of Chad Ochocinco and a slate full of rookie wide receivers, Miami has the opportunity to make some noise in the AFC East this season.
